Airline launches new flights to Costa Rica and more service to Mexico
WestJet will today launch new non-stop service from Calgary to Huatulco, its tenth destination in Mexico, and add new non-stop flights from Calgary to Liberia, Costa Rica, beginning on December 19.
With these new services, WestJet will operate 109 daily departures to 47 destinations from Calgary International Airport this winter, an increase of 12 and 17 per cent respectively over last winter. The airline now offers non-stop service from Calgary to 26 Canadian, 10 U.S. and 11 international destinations.
